One of the curiosities which has recently
been unearthed at the State Land Office is a
plan of the region, upon which the depreda-
tions of lumber occurred which led to the
Aro0stook war. The plan was made in the
time of the hostiities by William p. PARROT
an engineer. who was sent to Aroostook for
that purpose. The plan is in remarkably
good state of preservation. 1t shows the
er and most of the logging roads of that re-
gion. 1t has the following title: Plan of
letter f, in the second range, showing the
part trespassed upon during the winter of
1889, from the exploration of Mr.. E. To vile,
by VIM. p. Parrot. The plan is surely an
interesting one, and should be framed as a
relic of the great and momentous struggle OF
the Aroostook valley.
